At the HOME, the four Master's specialisations—De-disciplined Performance, Choreography, Theatre Practices, and Performance Art—share a common foundation through core modules that foster de-disciplined learning and collaboration. These core modules, amounting to 70 EC, are completed during the first period of study and provide all students with a shared grounding in performance research, theory, and practice. In the second period, students focus on their individual specialisations, with an additional 50 EC dedicated to specialised modules tailored to their program’s focus. For students in the De-disciplined Performances, there is the unique opportunity to choose specialisation modules from any of the other programmes, allowing them to craft a pathway that aligns with their specific research interests and practice. The total study load for each programme is 120 EC.

​

Group sessions are organised in six residential periods (for the 1st year) and four residential periods (for 2nd year) of three to five weeks spread. All programmes are full-time, and students are expected to work approximately 40 hours a week. In between residential periods, students work autonomously on their own research projects with the support of one-to-one tutorials, online group meetings, and peer feedback.  ​
